Research direction
Examine the referenced commit (949163015ce6fdb76a5e846a3582d3c40c23c001) to understand how query mca was obsoleted. Then locate the 'First steps in kernel setup' section in the repository (likely in the 'linux insides' book files) and update the relevant paragraphs to remove or replace references to query mca, ensuring consistency with the current kernel behavior.
